After a man on crutches was seen trying to gain entry to the musician's home in Clarkston, Michigan, Kid Rock took to his blog to warn anyone else from trying to break in.

In a post entitled 'Don't mess with a M**********r Like Me', he wrote: "Thank God I was not on the property at the time of this attempted break in. I am an avid hunter and marksman and I will not hesitate to shoot anyone who has myself or family in fear for our lives."

He included security camera pictures of the intruder and a description, and offered a US$5,000 reward for information.
